After copying the URL, highlight/select the headline you just pasted in the comment box (or any other words you want the link to attach to), then hit the button that looks like a chained world, etc. I looked in your comments, Clem dear, and the URL is there each time, just invisible because it has nothing to hold on to. So you are almost at the top of this particular learning curve, and climbing it much faster than I did.

#28  Here's hoping a Christian missionary predicted this would happen and Indonesia converts en masse.

That takes a couple hundred million out the manpower pool, more or less.

As for the Iceland thing, all I can say is: What the Hekla?
